There are some such stubborn men so allergic to all modern innovations. He will insist that he will never take a shower, but rather have a swim in the river....

Don't blame him a bit... And anyway, why should he fly? He's in Palm Springs, after all, 'Paradise on Earth.' lol... Nice limerick, Robert. ~ Gershon

Hmmm...I suspect he's likely to wind up a victim of pedestrianism. (chuckling)
